For real man. Money does bad things to good people. "To get rich..." SMH. If you have that dream you aint goin to get far. I hate how all the people care about the money. In the song "Brooklyn" by Mos Def, he says it best, a statement that is so true in my opinion.

Nah, not yet. Right now just trying to perfect the rhymes. At the same time I'm really looking forward to producing. So since getting back to NY I haven't written much. Just looking for a job so that I can save up money for producing equipment. What about you? How's that coming along?

Nice yo. I'm not that great about rapping about murkin people, as you can probably see. I'm more like a Common Sense typr of person. Its just decent at best. You however are pretty good. Was that over any kind of beat or you just wrote it just cause?

I don't wanna brag or anything but I wrote these verses on the spot

I was just gonna comment on your rhymes but then I was like let me put something down.

I can write faster if I don't use a beat behind the words. But when I have time I'll see if I put some rhymes with a classic beat.

I hear what you're saying about the whole "murking people" thing. But if you take a look at the rhymes that I wrote I really didn't mention anything about killing or shooting somebody (just stabbing). To me, it isn't cool to glorify those moments in time. At the same time, helping your audience visualize situations that you may have encountered is something that emcees should do. Showing right from wrong and to not commit the same mistakes, you know? Its also about being creative and depicting images you may have in your head.

Me too man. Its alot easier if you dont have a beat. I suck at freestyling, though. I need a lot of free time to write.

Classic beats take up more time. And they sound alot better when you cover it if you use a similar rhyme pattern. As you saw, i did write a diss track, but it isn't that great. I'm not really good at the whole killin, murkin, type of thing.

You are though. I liked those you put up

Thanks bro. Yo, you doing good too. Yea, freestyling is hard. But remember that the greatest emcees weren't good at freestyling. I think it has to do with being a perfectionist. I'm gonna see if I write rhymes to the sounds of "dead presidents" in the next week or so. I'll put it up on this thread once I'm done.

iight. im going to get some more done, maybe write a rap to no beat, then put it up here too.

Some of the greatest Emcees were good at freestyling. Have you ever listened to that Jay-z Big L 7 minute freestyle?
